The Killers - A White Demon Love Song Lyrics Meaning

When I first head this song, I didn't know that it was from the Twilight Saga. So, I didn't quite interpret it the way everyone else did. But that's the great thing about well written music; there are many ways of looking at it.

In the phrase: "White demon love song down the hall, white demon shaddow on the road. Back up your mind there is a call. He isn't coming after all.", I thought it meant that the female in this song was completely captivated by the "white demon", so much that he was all she thought about. It's as if he was with her constantly. But there is a very gloomy feel to the song, so her love for him was depressing to her. She wanted him badly, but he didn't think she existed.

But there are some positive parts to her being in love with him. Despite the emptiness he brings to her, she still has fantasies about there being better times where he treats her well. "All this time, she likes the way he sings white demon love songs in her dreams."

"Black invitation to a place that cannot change" The state that she was in and the feelings she had were constant, almost as if there were no end.

In the part "Let us be in love, let's do old and grey", I didn't first think of a love triangle, I thought of it as the artist of the song speaking in her thoughts. "I will never stray, I will do my part. Let us be in love tonight."

But,being a piece of art, there will be multiple interpretations. This is just what the song meant in my perspective.
